Meier Law Firm was founded in 2010.  Prior to forming Meier Law Firm, Josh and Laura Meier worked at large law firms for several years. 

We typically do not handle contested matters, but can hopefully refer you to another local trusted law firm who can help. 

Yes, you can. 

Yes.  Your children are always welcome here. 

Typically, yes.  

Yes, but availability for nights and weekends meeting is extremely limited.  Please call us and we will do all we can to find a time to meet that works for your schedule. 

If you live in Orange County, you typically meet with us at our offices in Newport Beach. If you live out of the area or have limited mobility, we can Facetime or Skype with you.  In some limited cases we can send a member of our team to your residence. 

If you are married and planning jointly, both spouses will need to attend the planning session together. 

Typically, it takes 4-6 weeks to set up an estate plan.  During the Covid-19 crises, we are fast tracing plans for the seriously ill, first responders, and hospital personnel. Please contact us so we can provide you our fast track options and meet your specific needs.   

You can call our warm and welcoming Client Services Director, Bonnie Johnson at (949) 718-0420 to schedule a time to meet with us. New clients typically attend a no pressure/no obligation Planning Session where they meet with a member of our team and we determine what their legal needs are next best steps. 

Ideally, if your loved one still has mental capacity and understands the significance and ramifications of sharing or transferring decision making power to you, your loved one will execute legal documents that allow you to make their medical and financial decisions for them, without the need of obtaining court intervention or approval.

If your loved one has already lost full mental capacity, you may need to seek a legal conservatorship over your loved one, so you can make medical and financial decisions on his or her behalf.
